A "Sixth Sense" in personnel department heads
Remember the kid from "The Sixth Sense" who whispered "I see dead people" to his shrink, portrayed by Bruce Willis? Apparently, the personnel directors from the Newark and Camden city school districts have that ability too. Camden spent more than $330,000 on salaries to late - we're not talking tardy - employees, some of whom were dead up to 30 years before their termination dates. Didn't anybody notice they were missing?
Newark, where officials objected to auditors for calling some of their expenses questionable, spent more than $310,000 in payroll for 28 dead employees. I want to know who cashed all those checks. If they've been pushing up daisies for as long as some of Camden's employees, direct deposit doesn't factor in there. Newark also purchased a jukebox for $1,795. Officials said that was for a "planned student center." Key word: planned. Right. Who buys a jukebox when they haven't put up walls yet?

You're right ... anyone who takes on the Grim Reaper is not to be messed with. One guy was hired in 1966, died in 1974, then listed as retired in 2006. Apparently he continued to receive his pay after 32 years in the grave.
I wonder, now that he's retired, if he's receiving a pension?
